seconds of the jam protection function operating, pull and hold the power
window switch in the one-touch closing position. When the window is closed
completely, release the switch.

seconds of the pinch protection function operating, press and hold the
power window switch in the one-touch opening position. When the window
is opened completely, release the switch.

above operations have been carried out, perform the following initializa\
tion

WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
nClosing the windows
lThe driver is responsible for all the power window operations, including the
operation for the passengers. In order to prevent accidental operation,
especially by a child, do not let a child operate the power windows. It is
possible for children and other passengers to have body parts caught in
the power window. Also, when riding with a child, it is recommended to use
the window lock switch.( P. 106)
l Check to make sure that all passengers do not have any part of their body
in a position where it could be caught when a window is being operated.
l When exiting the vehicle, turn the engine switch off, carry the key and exit
the vehicle along with the child. There may be accidental operation, due to
mischief, etc., that may possibly lead to an accident.
n Jam protection function (driver’s window only)
lNever use any part of your body to intentionally activate the jam protection
function.
l The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just
before the window fully closes.
n Pinch protection function (driver’s window only)
lDo not use a hand, arm, or clothing to intentionally activate the pinch pro-
tection function.
l The pinch protection function may not operate if something gets caught
just before the window is fully opened. Take care so that your hands, arms,
or clothing do not get caught.
